career development awards in prevention have been created to establish or maintain the career development of post-doctoral fellows, clinical fellows or junior investigators in the area of cancer prevention/risk reduction research and community-based clinical research in cancer prevention by providing protected research time and research funds. applications are invited from researchers in the fields of social/psychosocial and behavioural science, health policy, population health, health promotion, health services, cancer etiology, health economics and genetics aimed at improving cancer prevention.

the goal of this program is to provide salary and research support during the early years of a developing career for cancer prevention researchers. the program is designed to support researchers whose work has the potential for high impact within the domain of prevention/risk reduction research.

applications must include the commitment of a supervisor/mentor who will work with the applicant over the term of the award. in addition, the host institution must be prepared to make a commitment as described below.

the burroughs wellcome fund will support pilot projects that demonstrate practical approaches to readying scientists for career transitions. projects may be meant to enhance trainees’ understanding of jobs beyond the academy, or of career trajectories within academe, or of the flexibility of scientists’ intellectual skill set.

the career guidance for trainees (cgt) program provides grants of about $30,000 (but up to $50,000) over a one-year period to support demonstration projects that will model affordable approaches to improving trainees’ readiness for stable, fulfilling careers, whether by clarifying and improving their basic “ph.d.-level” skills, by helping them identify how they can best use their skills and interests to serve the needs of potential employers, by providing them approaches to thinking through their career options, or by other strategies.

it is anticipated that the average project budget will be $30,000, not to exceed $50,000 per award. $300,000 has been set aside to fund this group of pilot projects.

the aim of the call is to enable scientists in different countries to build an effective collaboration on a common interdisciplinary research project based on complementarities and sharing of expertise, with a clear translational research approach. projects shall involve a group of rare diseases or a single rare disease following the european definition i.e. a disease affecting not more than five in 10,000 persons in the european community, ec associated states and canada.

transnational research proposals must cover at least one of the following areas, which are equal in relevance for this call:

1. collaborative research using patient databases and corresponding collections of biological material that would generally not be possible at a national scale. this research must have clear potential for clinical application and well defined scientific objectives, e.g.:
   • definition of new nosological entities, epidemiological studies, genotype/phenotype correlations, natural history of diseases;
   • characterisation of the genetic/molecular basis of specific diseases
2. research on rare diseases including genetic, epigenetic, and pathophysiological studies, using innovative and shared resources, technologies (omics, new generation sequencing, etc.) and expertise.
3. research on development of applications for diagnosis and therapies for rare diseases. this may include identification and characterisation of (bio)-markers for diagnosis and prognosis, development of innovative screening systems and diagnostic tools, the generation of relevant cellular and/or animal models, and preclinical studies using pharmacological, gene or cell therapies.

project proposals must clearly demonstrate the potential health impact as well as the added-value of transnational collaboration: gathering a critical mass of patients/biological material, sharing of resources (models, databases, diagnosis etc.), harmonisation of data, sharing of specific know-how and/or innovative technologies, etc.

each transnational collaborative project should represent the critical mass to achieve ambitious scientific goals and should clearly demonstrate an added value from working together. applicants are encouraged to demonstrate engagement with industry for its active participation including areas of collaboration, sharing of resources, capabilities and expertise, in order to ensure an efficient transfer of pre-clinical results into clinical utility. likewise, patient organizations are invited to participate where appropriate as their engagement has the potential to provide new insights that could lead to innovative discoveries, and ensures that research is relevant to patients' concerns.

it is expected that the inclusion of partner groups from participating eastern european countries will contribute to strengthening the research capacity building in europe as a whole.

the aim of the call is in compliance with the goals set by irdirc which fosters international collaboration in rare diseases research. for more information see irdirc website.

the following diseases/topics are excluded from the scope of the call:

• interventional clinical trials;
• rare infectious diseases, rare cancers and rare adverse drug events in treatments of common diseases; and
• rare neurodegenerative diseases which are within the focus of the joint programming initiative on neurodegenerative disease research (jpnd). these concern: alzheimer's disease (ad) and other dementias; parkinson's disease (pd) and pd-related disorders; prion disease; motor neuron diseases (mnd); huntington's disease (hd); spinal muscular atrophy (sma) and dominant forms of spinocerebellar ataxia (sca).

innovation to impact grants (i2i) are intended to support the further development of successful findings based on the goals originally explored through a ccsri innovation grant. therefore, only investigators with a funded innovation grant are eligible for this program.

applicants are required to articulate specific achievements from the original innovation grant (i.e., significant new knowledge, publications, intellectual property, technology development, or relevant endpoints) and clearly describe and justify the progression to the new research proposed.

strategic network grants fund large-scale, multidisciplinary research projects in targeted research areas that require a network approach and that involve collaboration between academic researchers and canadian-based organizations. the applicant should be an established researcher with a solid track record in collaborative research, student training and grant management, and who demonstrates the leadership and other skills necessary for managing a complex, interdisciplinary, multi-institutional project.

strategic networks may be national, regional or, under exceptional circumstances, local. nserc has two application categories—a and b.

1. the proposed network will investigate a new collection of research objectives that do not build on previous network-scale activities and that have never been funded through nserc strategic network grants, a networks of centres of excellence (nce) grant, or other federal or provincial network-scale granting programs. in this case, the network may apply for sng funds between $500,000 and $1 million per year for five years, for a maximum request of $5 million.
2. the proposed network will build upon a collection of research objectives that have been previously funded through nserc strategic network grants, an nce grant, or other federal or provincial network-scale granting programs. to be eligible to compete in category b, the network partners must collectively assume more responsibility for funding the network (compared to the previously funded network) to support its research and administration activities. for every dollar contributed to the network by eligible industry and government partners, up to three dollars can be requested from nserc (e.g., $300,000 per year of partner cash would allow for a request of up to $900,000 per year of nserc funding). other contributions to the network are encouraged (e.g., other funding agencies, university support), but are not included in the leveraging of nserc funds. the network can request nserc funding between $500,000 and $1 million per year for five years, for a maximum request of $5 million.
